2012 Choosing Life Gala

Thanks to all, nearly 500, of you who joined us at the Westin Galleria Hotel for the event of the year: The 2012 Choosing Life Gala honoring Dr. Fernando Stein. We are so thankful that so many people, friends and family, came together to celebrate the life of service to children of Dr. Stein and hear him speak. Thank you all for coming together for a night of fun and for contributing to the life changing medical mission of Faith In Practice. We were also honored to have Guatemalan volunteer, Mr. Apolinario Lopez speak about his experience with Faith In Practice. We are very grateful to the gala chair, Mr. Ron Girotto, all the auction and bid board donors, special contributors, and all the volunteers. It was a memorable night. We hope to see you again next year.

If you were unable to attend, you can still make a life changing gift in honor of Dr. Stein.

4-Star Charity Rating

Faith In Practice has earned Charity Navigator's 4-star rating for the 8th consecutive year.

"Only 1% of the charities we rate have received at least 8 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Faith in Practice outperforms most other charities in America. This "exceptional” designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Faith in Practice from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."

Our Goals

To demonstrate, by our actions, the love of God and to provide an opportunity for the spiritual growth of our volunteers in various settings.

To connect the practice of medicine and dentistry and our service to our brothers and sisters in Central America to our individual faith journey.

To present Christian core values in a way that is non-threatening and informative to those volunteers whose beliefs are different from ours.
